Nice build for sure.

Very nice Runner & mods and you live and work in my favorite area of our beautiful state!

Yes, well done. Really like the rear bumper build.

I've been trying to decide where to retire...hopefully somewhere btw Ouray and Moab. Ha!

Thanks! I ended up moving away from Telluride to Denver but will always have some incredible memories. Have you thought about Durango or Ridgway? Both great places and cheaper than Telluride or Ouray.

Slide out Kitchen/drawer Setup

Just finished up building this setup. I have about 20 hours into the project and around $600 in materials. I used 3/4" birch plywood painted with bedliner and Accuride heavy duty lock-in/lock-out slides. Prepping for some long trips this summer to Alaska, Moab, etc and this should make things fast and convenient!

Man, such a great build! I'd love to see your setup in person.

Which 34's are you looking at? I just sold my 285/75/17 KM2's in order to go with a A/T setup in that same size. Nice tall skinny tires.

Thanks dude. Likewise. Probably go with the Ridge Grapplers. Seems like the perfect size tire for our trucks, but just not a lot of options. My buddy just got a set of RG's in that size so I'll be able to get a first hand look.

I just went and looked at the Falkens and the Ridge Grapplers. I like the sidewalls and ability to get a load C in the 34" RG, but they just cost so damn much. It would be $1400 vs $1000 for 5 tires.

Now I'm also considering the 305/70/17 RG:jump:

James Baroud Tent

I'd been wanting a hardshell tent for awhile and after seeing quite a few different types in person and online, I knew I wanted the Baroud because of the superior quality, 5 year warranty and some really nice features that others don't have such as a built in fan/vent. My buddy Josh at Bomber Products hooked me up with one of the last Discovery models in the US.

I decided that I wanted to do something a little different with mounting it. My Whitson rack was nice and strong, but weighed about 100 lbs. So me and my buddy [MENTION=61439]grateful[/MENTION]runner at Minimalist Fabworks came up with a strong, low profile and extremely lightweight flat rack design perfect for mounting RTT's. Just took some 1" tube and bent it and welded in some crossbars and some feet and it works beautifully. About $150 in metal. I've already had the tent out for 10 nights in the last 5 weeks including 5 nights in the dollhouse section of the Maze and I am extremely happy with the whole setup. So fast, easy and comfortable.
